Slow Respiratory Rate. When a person's respiratory rate is slower than normal, certain conditions, such as bradypnea or apnea, may occur. Bradypnea is characterized by abnormally slow breathing, and may be the symptom of a metabolic disorder or a tumor.
Primary alveolar hypoventilation. Primary alveolar hypoventilation is a rare disorder in which a person does not take enough breaths per minute. The lungs and airways are normal. Normally, when the oxygen level in the blood is low or the carbon dioxide level is high, there is a signal from the brain to breathe more deeply or quickly. In people with primary alveolar hypoventilation, this change in breathing does not happen. The cause of this condition is unknown.
